The Sacramento Police Department Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Team

From July 2020 to date, the Sacramento Police Department’s Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Unit has been deployed over 100 times and has been instrumental in over 60 arrests. “These tools help keep our officers and the community safe, and SacPD is proud to be on the forefront of this technology,” said Sacramento Police Department Deputy Chief Dave Peletta. “These UAS allow our officers to make arrests and resolve potentially dangerous situations safely and effectively.”

The department’s UAS are routinely deployed to search for suspects, clear buildings, and communicate with subjects.
